Look. A lot of stuff happened. It's New Years. Can we all be happy that Betty White, 99 years young (her age, the shooting stat we all long for), look at the year 2021, and said NO. NO. I am NOT leaving alone. You are coming with me 2021. And she took that bastard into the dark abyss.

So yah. Thanks Betty. Thus was my new years sim.

Assuming that you entered those lines prior to the sim, which I can't confirm since you seem to have re-entered them afterwards:

I suspect Nicholas tried to enter your lines before advancing, couldn't (because Harkins wasn't on your roster yet), and fixed them then instead of confirming the next day. To which I'm afraid I'll need to nag all simmers about this recently amended section of the sim procedure again:

5. Browse to the lines/ folder on the FTP. For every team (pro and farm) that has updated lines since the last sim, switch to that team and confirm their new lines.
If lines are valid but cannot be confirmed prior to game day, make note of the relevant teams and confirm their lines after advancing to the next day in step 6. This can happen in a few circumstances - trades and waivers claims on the previous day that haven't arrived at their new team yet, and injured players who only became day-to-day on game day (these should be activated).
IF AND ONLY IF you accidentally overwrote the teams.ehm file on the FTP (thereby wiping out the newly entered lines within), you should download all of the new lines files and load them manually before confirming. This is normally not necessary.
6. Advance to the next day. Simulate every game. You may need to correct various issues:
a. Rosters - teams that have fewer than 18 skaters + 2 goalies, or more than 23 players, may need recalls or demotions.
b. Lines - teams may still have invalid lines after demoting/promoting players. Farm teams may need players activated from injury, or a fast-sign (done by pressing the auto lines button, if all else fails).
Simmers will make best efforts to fix rosters and lineups following the rules (e.g. by loading the previous saved lines file, if it is valid), but ultimately it is each GM's responsibility to maintain valid rosters and lines.

This. Exactly what happened. Always tougher with huge sims because one fix is different than the next. Not an excuse. It's new but I need to be on the hook for knowing the amendments. Aware of the issue and will avoid in the future.
